I'm perfectly content with this now. And Sheol seems pretty cool for a name.

[Joben]

btw for folks who don't get the reference Sheol is the Hebrew word for 'the place where the dead are' Either a literal place for souls or metaphorical concept depending on your exact theology. It seemed appropriate considering the body-count this planet is acquiring. We are all dead men walking.



Ok so, while the people up top are swatting bugs and running from rubber dogs we folks in the Pit found a steel door.

So presumably a few days ago at one end of this tunnel was the Titan, at the other end was this door...

Someone in an underground facility was studying the thing while it slept?

[Doomblade187]

We aren't the first migrants, right?

[exolyx]

I'm guessing (as I said in the thread) that this creature simply moved into the tunnel that was already there and promptly didn't give a rat's ass that there was anything there prior. I honestly doubt that anyone was studying it.

Maybe you should see if the tunnel continues through the other side of the pit?

How far across is the pit? I assumed it was enormous.

Eh. Couple football fields? I hate estimating. It was curled up a bit so probably a lot less than that.

[Jatha]

Let's just assume we can walk from one side of the chasm to the other in a reasonable amount of time and leave it at that.

@JathaDefenseModules  I thought you were looking for upgrades to the HabMod, like you said in your post. Modules are compact mechanical devices, but not weapons in and of themselves. If you were looking for thrown explosives, you should have said so as an aside to the Upgrades request.

[Jatha]

Sorry about that. Guess I wasn't very clear with my requests. Yeah, I was looking for some kind of weapon mount or auto turret for the HabMod. The grenades are for those rubbery bastards outside. I figure that if lasers are effective, then some sort of heat or energy based explosive is likely to be as well.

GUNIN, do our suits have a zoom function/rangefinder on/in/using the visor?

Nope.

Oh wow ok. We could go look pretty easily then.

I'm really having trouble picturing this thing then. ...a creature that is over 15000 meters tall was curled up in a space less than 200 meters across about 50 meters deep? That like a human curling up into an area the size of his own foot.

[Doomblade187]

Maybe 15 football fields, at least. Just saying.

Do you really want it to be that far away? Fine. It now takes half a day to cross the pit on foot. Let that be a lesson to you.
I just wanted to have some fun, make things a bit convenient and interesting, yet still provide something of a challenge, but noooooo, you have to bring "science" into it. Well bollocks to science. Thats all I have to say. Humph.
